This marks the first time in modern medical history that a mainstream therapeutic movement has explicitly pathologized a core religious-cultural identity component (Zionism) affecting 85% of a specific religious group. Unlike historical medical antisemitism which focused on physical characteristics, this represents a systematic attempt to classify religious-political beliefs as mental illness within professional therapeutic settings.
Mental Health Crisis: Jewish Therapy Patients Face Identity Attack
📰 What Happened
A concerning trend in American mental health care has emerged where the 'Decolonizing Therapy' movement, led by Dr. Jennifer Mullan, is classifying Zionism as a mental illness. This affects approximately 85% of Jewish Americans who identify as Zionists, according to JNS.org. The framework, gaining popularity in social work and psychiatry, threatens to compromise therapeutic care for Jewish patients by pathologizing core aspects of their identity, despite having no basis in the DSM diagnostic manual.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The emergence of systemic discrimination within mental healthcare systems represents an unprecedented evolution of Revelation 12's warning about sophisticated persecution. The 'Decolonizing Therapy' framework creates a new vector for discrimination by weaponizing mental health credentials against 85% of Jewish Americans. This development aligns with Matthew 24:9's prediction of hatred against God's people coming through respected institutions. The involvement of credentialed professionals and academic frameworks demonstrates how antisemitism is being legitimized through seemingly benevolent systems, fulfilling 2 Timothy 3:5's warning about those having a 'form of godliness' while denying its power.
